He was up to sixth by the third corner, passing both Toro Rosso, then fifth when he passed Romain Grosjean's Haas into Spoon.

Bivol's owner Asen Yordanov stated that the murder of Marinova is a warning for other journalists.

Marinova's murder has drawn worldwide condemnation and calls from media watchdogs for a comprehensive investigation.

In the first episode, she interviewed two investigative reporters who were recently arrested while looking into corruption involving the misuse of European Union funds. Attila Biro, editor of the Romanian investigative website Rise Project, and Dimitar Stoyanov, of the Bulgarian site Bivol, were arrested in the Sofia suburb of Pernik on 14 September and held for six hours.

A friend of Marinova, Todor Gechev, told reporters from Bulgarian National Television (BNT) that he met with her on Wednesday.

A journalist is killed on average every week around the world, according to figures compiled by RSF.

He also called on the Bulgarian government to do more about protecting the safety of journalists working in the country generally.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, an intergovernmental organization, called for a "thorough investigation" of her rape and murder, noting "a trend of increased attacks against female journalists".

"As security - rather than the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms - becomes the number one priority of governments worldwide, broadly-written security laws have been twisted to silence journalists", wrote Index on Censorship's Jodie Ginsburg a year ago.
